STAMFORD — Fire investigators are still looking into the cause of a North Stamford fire that damaged much of the southeast corner of a 4,000-square-foot home near the New York border Monday afternoon.

Firefighters were called out to the fire at 21 Greens Circle Road, which is near the Pound Ridge Golf Club, at 4:45 p.m.

The house was empty at the time while undergoing floor refinishing.

“The cause of the fire is under investigation,” Long Ridge Fire Marshal Antonio Olive said. “I’m still talking to everyone and gathering information.”

Long Ridge Engine 74 was first on scene followed by Long Ridge Engine 71 and Long Ridge Tanker 78, Olive said. Three Stamford fire engines joined the effort along with another tanker and a rescue unit.

Olive, who arrived after the Long Ridge fire engines got to the fire, said that the Long Ridge crews had the fire knocked down pretty quickly before the other units showed up.
